One-time setup of a Commune wiki for the authoring loop. Writes WRITING.md by interview, migrating any existing writing document into it, and decides the dumps policy. Use when the user runs it by name on a wiki that has no WRITING.md yet.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# commune-setup

Run once per wiki. Output: `WRITING.md` at the wiki root, in the fixed shape,
with no placeholder left in it — plus, when the wiki had one, a deleted writing
document and the links to it repointed.

User-invoked on purpose. It writes the file every other skill obeys, and it asks
questions only the wiki's owner can answer.

## Rules

- **Explore before you ask.** Every question you can answer from the repository
  is not a question. Read first, ask the residue.
- **Recommended answer first**, so answering is a yes or a correction.
- **Rules only.** `WRITING.md` gets nothing that does not change what an agent
  writes. History, positioning and plans stay wherever they are, or get deleted
  with the file they were in.
- Rename or move a note only with `$COMMUNE rename <from> <to>`, never `mv`,
  `git mv`, `obsidian rename` or a file tool. Those leave every `[[link]]` to
  the old name broken; `rename` rewrites them and keeps the URL. Add
  `--dry-run` first. When `rename` only changes a name's case in a git
  repository, it prints a `git mv -f` line on stderr; run that line so git
  records the new case.
- Never install anything.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add dmthepm/commune-wiki/commune-setup@sha256:b35addefbcac9cd3

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
